If Park Bank is liable for not spotting Sujata "Sue" Sachdeva's $34 million embezzlement from Koss Corp. and has to reimburse the company, Koss Chief Executive Michael Koss should also be ordered to personally pay the public company he runs, the bank argues in a new lawsuit.

Grant Thornton, Koss Corp.'s former auditor, should also have to pay a portion of any award that may be ordered, Park Bank argued in the latest twist in a long-running court fight stemming from Sachdeva's massive embezzlement.

"Park Bank denies any and all liability to Koss in this case," the bank said in its action. "Nevertheless, should Park Bank be found liable to Koss (Corp.) and required to pay damages to Koss, in this case, those damages will have been the result of a common liability of Park Bank, Michael Koss and Grant Thornton, thereby entitling Park Bank to (a) contribution from Michael Koss and Grant Thornton."(10)

The return of Dunleavy will help, but until our pair of backcourt 'chuckers' start finding the range with a far better shooting percentage, his return doesn't help the Bucks most glaring offensive weakness, that duo's contributions to the Bucks 43% from the field.

Nope. He didn't have to. Conley has always been a pass-first point guard.He is the perfect system player for that team. As all point guards are if your name in not Paul, Rose, Westbrook, Williams or Parker. (And those guys look for teammates in lieu of simply 'chucking'.

Westbr00k does not, unless he's drastically changed, Coach. Conley jR. did not excell with his right hand until the past couple seasons. Remember, about 4 years ago they wanted to trade him for Jennings?

We have no choice but to ride it out with these 2. So if someone wants to step up and take over some of the scoring load feel free. More shots per hour doesn't seem to be the answer so maybe a hybrid run and set is the answer.

Do you really think that if those two were out that nobody would shoot? There might be a couple who have forgotten how, but I bet they could pick it back up quickly enough. There are eight players on the roster with a True Shooting % higher than Brandon. And Tobias isn't actually that afraid to shoot, and is running a 57% plus True Shooting.

It was my understanding these guys were going fast break and hit the open guy, feed the bigs. Are they not getting down there quick enough? Are the chuckers chucking to fast? Is offensive rebounding a tad below par? Does the coach have a grip? Is the half court offense way below par? I say there is only one no in all the answers. And the final question, is every body stuck behind the 8ball and can't make a ?change

To make it sound like Jennings has no game would be argument nobody could win. We probably all agree on that point. He has improved his game every year, so the only argument in play is whether the Bucks would be a better team with a passing first point guard or a shooting first point guard.

Ellis is gone in all probability (by his choice) and Jennings, who knows if the Bucks offer will be enough to satisfy his dilemma to stay. Whatever happens, I hope Bucks management makes up their mind soon, one way or the other.

I suppose this sounds like I'm giving up on the season, but this team is 50/50 to go either way in the standings. Rather then to keep moving pieces around, year after year, with similar results - lets hope they make up their minds and trade for an impact player to build this team now or look to the future with a plan for Jennings and/or Ellis.

How's this for part of that answer my bourban friend.?---In his debut after nine months on the shelve Mr. Ricky Rubiohad NINE assists in about seventeen minutes as he's easedback into play. Nine assists resulting in at least 18 pts by his mates. (Not sure if anyone went to the line).

So, you can seek out launch codes at your leisure; hauling up18-23 footers as though ones' life depends on it, or, I don't know,get your teamates involved too?

Ricky Rubio. Enough to make a guy consider putting up with bad internet feeds to view?******

My son talked me into a fantasy league and I immediately scooped up Rubio the day he was activated, in other worgs yes I'd much rather have that game but reality has us in a different mode that needs a little adjustment.

with Dunleavy on the court, it WILL make Ellis and Jennings more efficientwhen Dunleavy is out there with them, he provides a 3pt threatwhich means, his defender cannot leave himwhich opens up the lane, giving more space for Jennings and Ellis to drive or shoot

this is from my Eye Testif there are #s that disprove thisplease post so i can inform myself

Sure hope you're right. Lot of impatient folks around here Pande. In all reality the team shoots 43% with the chuckers at 40%. If it all come together as you suggest they can increase to 43% and the rest of the team go up as well. So back to the positive mental attitude as I suggested no one is going anywhere just yet.

I stand corrected, according to SVH'S LATEST pyramid: Best lineup; jennings, ellis, daniels, udoh, sanders.......worst lineup; jennings, ellis, daniels, moute, sanders. So the the Static duo together are the best/worst, hard to make any conclusions from this?

I agree with Pande, I think BJ and Monta play better with Dunleavy because of the threat of Monta or BJ driving and kicking it out to Dunleavy for a 3.With that being said, I think Skiles should start Dunleavy to maximize this scenario, because Dunleavy would be playing with BJ and Monta more often. Move Luc to the bench and bring him in if someone is being taken advantage on defense. I know this would weaken our bench, but we wouldn't have to worry about early deficits to climb out of.G$'s starting lineup: PG: BJ SG: Monta SF: Dunleavy PF: Udoh C: Sanders

The 'bench' with Dunleavy has been the Bucks' strength this season. His role is with the reserves where he becomes the primary shooter, not competing with the 'static twins' for shots. Those three do share some minutes on the floor together, but not in the starting lineup. IMO.

---This is one of TEN games NOT being televised locally. Because of thatthere will be / check, should not be a black out by national coverage.At least that's the rule. Had Fox Sp. decided to show the game, then YES, there is a good chance ESPN would be blacked out.

At the core of such decisions is little more then the advertising dollarat work.

My hope is Hubie Brown is doing the color? It is indeed rare when one finds a Hubie Brown doing Buck games.

Stay Tuned>>>

Just a quick thought on this Dunleavy / Launch Code Duo debate.

I don't think for a moment in matters who's on the court doing what,these two, with rare exception, will haul up as many shots as they believe is necessary in spite of the external workings of the team.

It is what makes this team both strong, and weak pending outcome of the Launch code duo>>>

It is rare for this newpaper to have any sort of news, or write a piece on trade speculations. Over the last few days Mr. Ilyasova's name has appeared.Many who did not wish for him to sign are naturally on point to have him traded.A couple things to keep in mind regarding the would be trade, and the process therein:

"....Woelfel goes on to speculate who the Bucks might receive in return as part of a deal for Ersan, discussing guards MarShon Brooks and Tyshawn Taylor with host Steve Fifer. Woelfel liked the sound of a Brooks acquisition, because, as Gery will tell you, any player not playing for the Milwaukee Bucks is probably pretty good.

First things first: Ersan Ilyasova can't be traded until January 15, as opposed to the December 15 limit for most free-agent signings. Because Ersan received a raise of more than 20% via Bird rights, he qualifies for condition that was known as "Base Year Compensation" in the old CBA, meaning his trade prohibition expires a month later.

What's more, there isn't a great way to match salaries with Brooklyn. Everyone on the Nets' roster makes either more than $9.6 million or less than $3.1 million. The Bucks have a $2.5 million trade exception at their disposal, but any deal would almost certainly have to include another team (possible), or see Milwaukee acquire one of Brooklyn's top-priced players (unlikely)....." (Latest at the BHOOP>) ---We'll continue to scope the NBA landscape elsewhere as elsewhere is usually where one finds the news on this franchise.

The Turkish Pipe AND the Phenom are not going anywhere soon, if somebuddy is leaving, I'll put my money on Monstah Ellis. Please archive this before the Mayan Apocalypse gets here................that is all.

That's pretty much what 'NBA insider' Woeful deals in, 'speculation'. Woeful is actually nothing more than an 'association groupie' dropping tidbits here and there and making the Morning 'Static Duo' of Wickett & Friemund on WSSP salivate @ any morsel he cares to drop. Where's Sir Michael Hunt's analysis been? has he been castigated to the depths of the 'Golden Beagles' bLog?

Here's 5 different opinions on trading the phenom from ESPN, Chad Ford and Jeremy Schmidt, the other guys IDK:

"Ford: D. Disagree strongly. I just don't see it. He's 23 years old and productive. He can be maddeningly inconsistent, but if the Bucks bail on him … what's left?

Ham: E. Ambivalent. That was an option, wasn't it? The Bucks are a very strangely constructed team and it's hard to tell what they need and what they don't. I don't love the Jennings-Monta Ellis backcourt, but if Jennings was a third guard playing off the bench, they might be able to coexist.

McGowan: C. Disagree somewhat. I'm not sure what the Bucks are building, but they are relatively young and entertaining. If GM John Hammond thinks the Ellis-Jennings backcourt experiment has been a complete disaster or that Jennings will fetch too high of a price in restricted free agency, he could ship out the 23-year-old guard, but I would urge him to be patient.

Schmidt: A. Agree strongly. Dismantle this nine-seed machine. Jennings has proved he is a pretty good player. Not an all-by-himself franchise-changer like Kyrie Irving, Chris Paul or Derrick Rose. But if the Bucks let him go, it should signal a whole new direction for the team. Ellis and every expiring should follow him out the door.

Soriano: A. Agree strongly. Jennings has not improved much, if at all, since his rookie season. And while he has obvious talent, his ball-dominant, low-efficiency style can be easily replaced at a much lower cost than it will take to re-sign him when his contract is up. Better to deal him before contract talks get messy over the next 12 months."

It's easy to agree with all of those opinions [Wingy]. As I've stated in a past thread, the Bucks seem a 50/50 proposition tumble down into the ranks of the ping-pong ball selectors. There can be a case made for dismantling this'strangely constructed' team and starting over.

If the Bucks insist on trying to build this team like they have the last 4 seasons and show little interest in acquiring an impact 'franchise type' player, I say start over.

Seems like most of the citizens of Milwaukee will never back a new arena, so the Bucks rebuilding will happen elsewhere anyway.

I saw the results of that thread, Aughttahh. I think the movers & shakers in D0wnT0wn Milwaukee will find a way to get that new area built, if not, say goodbye to our 'little friends' The Milwaukee Bucks.

Putting semantics and oppostional behavior to the side we share this nugget:

News---"..1.information about important or interesting recent events. 2.broadcastreport of news. 3.newly recieved or noteworthy information....

Seems fairly clear that the narrative provided at -1:07- fits both ONE and Two, and although I am not a broadcaster now, I have pretended to be onein the past. Therefore, all due respect to the Rep> from the West....I'll stand by my narrative as being 'recent', 'interesting' (to me, and judging from response to others), 'important', 'new', and 'noteworthy'.***

IF, we are going to Trade pieceswe HAVE to get Draft Picksi dont care if theyr Future 2nd round picksjust start acquiring as many Draft Picks as possibleMonta, Beno, Dunleavy, Dalemburt, GoodenIF/when we trade them, we should b able to get a young, a draft pick and some $ filler

After a BAD November Ersan has quietly raised his game, almost invisibly because he started so low. For December, he is shooting .45 on threes and earning 1.30 points per shot. On a team where everyone else is a "tube man" or a "jackapalooza", he might be the last one who needs to be traded. How about getting rid of what we have too much of?

"Have you not watched a Blazers game in the last 5-10 years? Przybilla has been a key piece to the Blazers success. Also, teams that succeed in the playoffs more than likely have a quality backup center. It's a much better option than trying to fill in the backup center spot with scrub centers or power forwards that don't have the size to defend underneath. Chuck Hayes is undersized and is not the answer."
